geography Program Highlights
This field is truly interdisciplinary by its very nature. It explores a wide spectrum of topics, so we designed our program to give you the flexibility to select coursework that best suits your interests.
Culture and context
As a Geography major at Park University, you’ll get a thorough foundation in geographic and spatial analysis principles. You’ll study cultural as well as physical geography, as well as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – the technology of mapping and analyzing geographic data. This broad background is presented within a framework that bridges the humanities, social sciences and physical sciences.
In this program, we aim to help develop future leaders for society. Our graduates can understand and explain global political issues that occur between countries, cultures, cities, and between regions within countries.
Gamma Theta Upsilon Honor Society
Once you’ve completed at least three semesters (or five quarters) of coursework, taken a minimum of three Geography courses and have a GPA of at least 3.3 overall, you can join the Park University chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon, the International Geographic Honor Society. The Society promotes Geography knowledge and awareness through meetings and various activities throughout the year.
